First-Party Chargeback and Dispute Claims in the E-Commerce Industry: A Growing Concern

29.01.23 12:38 PM By blaine

As the e-commerce industry continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, businesses are facing new challenges, including the ever-present threat of fraud. One of the most damaging forms of fraud is first-party related chargeback and dispute claims, which can result in significant losses for businesses and hinder their growth.


Chargeback fraud occurs when a customer disputes a transaction on their credit card and claims that they did not authorize the charge. Dispute claims are similar, but instead of being initiated by the customer, they are initiated by the merchant or the payment processor. In both cases, the business is left with the responsibility of proving the validity of the transaction, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. To complicate matters further, first-party fraud cannot be detected at checkout like other forms of fraud, making it all the more challenging for businesses to protect themselves from losses.
